About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wondered what life is like as a master perfumer? In Parfum, you dive headfirst into the fascinating world of fragrances to become the biggest name in the industry! The game puts you in charge of an essence laboratory, where ingredients like lavender, vanilla, and violets are your best friends. But simply mixing everything you find won't cut it; the secret to success lies in precision. You'll need to distill these precious essences to create perfumes that are true works of art. The real challenge is that the market is demanding: each customer has very specific tastes and will only open their wallet if your perfume is exactly what they are looking for. To secure the sale, you'll need to bottle your creations in the right flasks, catering to your clientele's preferences. Combining resource management with a dash of luck through dice rolling, you'll have to decide how to spend your action points to dominate the fragrance market. Will you manage to create the perfect scent to win over all the customers, or will you end up with a stock of useless essences? It's a dynamic, fast-paced game with a super elegant theme that will make you want to smell every single component!
